Can you get featured in Decrypt?
A crypto and Web3 publication known for explaining complicated technology in plain, readable language.
Decrypt covers cryptocurrency, Web3, artificial intelligence, gaming and the culture that surrounds them, with an emphasis on clear explanation. Coverage there usually goes to the biggest tokens and companies, to viral moments and to projects with a famous name attached, so quieter teams are easily passed over. With a guaranteed placement, the outlet is confirmed first, you approve every word, and the article publishes on decrypt.co inside the window written into your scope, usually three to five days. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.
What Decrypt covers
Decrypt is a digital publication covering cryptocurrency and the technologies around it. Its reporting spans bitcoin, ethereum and other networks, decentralized finance, NFTs and digital collectibles, blockchain gaming, artificial intelligence, markets, regulation and the business of Web3. It is known for explainers and learning guides that make difficult subjects understandable, alongside daily news, features, interviews and reviews of games and products.
The voice is conversational, curious and a little irreverent, aimed at readers who want to understand a subject without wading through jargon. Decrypt treats crypto as part of wider internet culture, so stories about a game with on-chain items, an artist or brand experimenting with digital collectibles, an AI tool with a novel use, a protocol solving a practical problem or a founder with an unusual path all belong there.
Who reads Decrypt
Decrypt’s readers include crypto holders and traders, developers and founders, gamers, artists, creators and people who are simply curious about new technology. Many are younger and culturally engaged, and arrive wanting an explanation as much as a headline. They read it to learn how things work, to find new projects, games and tools, and to keep up with where crypto, AI and entertainment meet.
For a Web3 project, a game studio, an AI startup or a creator-focused brand, a Decrypt feature introduces you to an audience that tries new things and talks about them. It is a credential that communities, investors, launch partners and platform teams recognize, and it reads well on a project site, in a pitch deck and across social channels.

What makes a story pitch-ready for Decrypt
Decrypt readers want to understand the thing, and to enjoy reading about it.
Decrypt writes for curious people rather than insiders alone, so a story works when a newcomer could follow it and an expert would still learn something. The strongest pieces explain what the project is in one clear sentence, show it in use, introduce the people behind it and say honestly what is new about it.
First we decide which of the angles below gives readers the clearest way in. Teams tend to lead with technical architecture when the human or cultural side of the story is what readers remember.
What weakens a pitch
- Jargon-heavy descriptions. If the story needs a glossary to follow, Decrypt’s readers will stop reading before they reach the point.
- Hype about token price. This audience has learned to distrust it, and nothing we write can suggest returns that may not happen.
- Nothing to see or try. A story is far stronger when readers can play, use or look at what you have made.
- Borrowed cultural relevance. Naming a trend is not the same as taking part in it, and readers can tell the difference quickly.
